Kes-Varn:
“Go on, then,” she says with a small smile while blindly passing off the manifest to the inspector.

GM:
Bella nods in appreciation and climbs the gangplank, clearing the way for R4-J16 as he rolls down.
The inspector looks over the manifest and leads her crew aboard.
J16 wheels himself next to the Captain and stands at attention.

Kes-Varn:
Kes pats his metal head affectionately.

GM:
Kay meets the inspector at the top of the ramp and leads her to the cargo bay.

Caster:
“You think they go through this for the bigger freighters? How many days do the big pilots just hag out in spaceports waiting for inspections to clear?”

GM:
The little droid whistles his appreciation

Kes-Varn:
“A while. Especially if they don’t keep their crew in check and there’s small but still illegal garbage on board. Stashes of spice and whatnot.” She shrugs. “Small is good.”

Caster:very quietly “… we don’t have a small stash of illegal garbage on board right now, do we?”

Kes-Varn:
“Why would we have that?” she asks brightly.

Caster:
“Because you’ve been chipper all day and it’s throwing me.”

Kes-Varn:
“You haven’t pissed me off yet.”
“Let me savor it.”

Caster:
“Its giving me the creeps. Scowl at something.”

Kes-Varn:
She doesn’t.

Caster:
“… this is only making it worse, isn’t it?”

Kes-Varn:
She’s positively BEAMING now.

GM:
About ten minutes after they went on board, the customs crew returns. “Everything seems to be in order, Captain. You’re free to unload your cargo.”

Kes-Varn:
“Thank you, ma’am. Have a nice afternoon.”

Caster:goes to unload the cargo. Anything to get away from the Smile Of Death

GM:
A speeder comes tearing around the corner at the far end of the building.

Kes-Varn:
“Sorry, kiddo. Trouble’s here.”

Caster:
“Fine. Lets do this.”

GM:
Bella readies her blaster pistols.

Kes-Varn:
Kes guns the engine and swings to slam into the speeder. “Hope your seatbelts are on!”

Caster:
“We don’t have seatbelts!”

Kes-Varn:
(+4 forceful total)

GM:
(vs Defense +4)
The speeder swerves wildly around yours, glancing alongside and spinning a bit off course (gain a boost)
Bella leans out the window and opens fire on the speeder en passant
(Careful +4 vs defense +1) She punctures the fuel cells, causing the speeder to burst into a massive ball of flames

Kes-Varn:
“That — that works too.”
“I was hoping we could stop them, not set them on fire but — okay.”

Caster:peeks over his arm “Got ’em.”

GM:
Bella: “Oops.”

Kes-Varn:
“Good aim, though.”

GM:
At this time, a couple of men in fatigues emerge on the loading dock, clad in fatigues and wielding blasters. They watch the flaming wreck of the speeder zip past them and crash into the wall surrounding the compound.

Caster:
“Hey, here’s to hoping they were the bad guys and local law isn’t really into ‘due process’”

GM:
One of them points your speeder out to the other one, and they concentrate fire on you.
(attack +2 and +1 on Kes)

Kes-Varn:
Kes, who had been planning to pull over, quickly guns the vehicle and swerves it in the opposite direction. (2+2= 4 quickly)
(4 and 3)

Caster:
“Wait, we didn’t blow up your facility! Unless you were the people who blew up the facility then we definitely don’t like you, and you probably should keep shooting. Wait no. Don’t shoot.”

GM:
The men walk their fire toward the speeder, but they’re not great at leading a moving target.

Caster:
“Hey, I’m gonna do something you always tell me not to do— try to talk to them.” Caster spends a hot second judging the ground before rolling out of the speeder.
(Quickly +2, rolled +2 = +4)Caster throws his hands up, trying to make the universal sign of surrender

Kes-Varn:
“Caster!” Kes shouts, but it’s too late. “No!”

GM:
The bad guys turn and go back into the building.

Caster:
“Hm.”

Kes-Varn:
“If he started shouting at me, I guess I’d do that too.”

GM:
Bella: “If that was their ride, they might be moving on to Plan B.”

Kes-Varn:
Kes pulls the speeder over near the door but not too near, and perpendicular to the building so Bella has some cover when she exits. She pulls her rifle out of its holster before stepping out of the speeder.
